yeah i mix in the box, always have
I have dreams of just recording to two track on a big desk like a midas venice or something but Iāve not been brave enough yet
some tracks here and there come out completely unedited but its rare that i get the mix right the first time so I always have to at least adjust some levels
since using overbridge now i dont process the rytm through the modular but i just stick plugins on it to do the same things
octatrack has so many uses for me, itās one of my favorite devices ever, as a sound source, sample mangler, etc. it also comes in really handy in remixes as I will put peopleās stems in there and make new sounds from them
this track is an example of that, the main bass is octatrack with the original trackās stems, and drums are all rytm, i forget what the other sounds are but likely modular:
also here is a track I made in kosovo on someoneās borrowed octatrack straight into a zoom recorder:
the story behind that one is kinda funny, I did a DJ set in kosovo and was there for a couple days and the promoters invited me to a house party and when i got there they had set up an octatrack for me and asked me to perform on it, and that was the result
